I joined several clubs and tried to get help with registering mine. It turned out that none of the experts could help me. From my research of wheel horses I’m probably better qualified than most… I wrote a nice letter to Toro and they confirmed the age on headed paper which the DVLA confirmed along with photographs and insurance was enough.

I’ve registered two in the last last two years (one 1979 T, the other 1972 K) – the last one being a year ago. I’ve just filled in the request for form V55/5 again and I’m going to register another horse. Lets see how that goes.

Next item for your lawn edger display would have to be the Ransomes Lawn Edger – very collectable, reasonably rare and definitely not a cheap buy (unless you are very lucky). The early examples can, I believe, date from 1910 onwards.

Picture is courtesy of Wristpin (found on another forum!!) as I couldn’t find a picture of our Ransomes Lawn Edger; the information is from the sheet that we put with our edger at a rally.

would any one know the age of this allen scythe ? my rough guess 50s/ 60s ??.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Could this be the best Allen Scythe we’ve ever seen?
Well not to sure about that alan but time might tell.

sounds like your local dvla are real jobs worths. My letter aged the vehicle and confirmed it was manufactured in the US and imported in 1972. When I filled in the V55 form I only filled in the the serial numbers and cc. They ignored the rest – I’ve done this twice btw, maybe the leeds dvla office is the place to go…

The refusal letter the sent me informed me that I should ring HMRC to find out about this NOVA system they have for registering vehicles so I did,aparently as of 15th april your vehicle has to be on this NOVA (Notification Of Vehicle Arrivals) list before you can register it in case there is any tax to pay,so he emailed me the forms which I have if anybody needs a copy and the notes that go with it,then when they have decided if tax is payable or not they will send me permission to register it,I have to send the Briggs and Stratton engine number dating info along with the tractor dating info the form and a covering letter so it should be fairly simple ,unusually for them there doesn’t appear to be a fee that must be a first.

From my experience they don’t care. The letter from toro to confirm age was enough.

A nice conversion and a great video. Just subscribed to your channel. 🙂

A very interesting read, thanks guy’s.
I’ve been thinking of getting one of my WH’s road legal for a while now.
Although my 6X6 is insured for the road, it is not road registered and to be honest it would cost be a fortune in fuel to go to the shops in it!!

My GT14+2 however would be ideal, cheaper on fuel and the roll bar even has a mount for a yellow flashing light 🙂
What I’m wondering about is it’s had a few modifications..
I wouldn’t expect any complaints about the roll bar being a safety item, but the engine has been swapped for a 16hp rather than the original 14hp..

Would this give me any problems?

Photos don’t seem to be in order but I’m sure you get the general drift…

Jean, thanks for the information

Charlie, yes a lawn edger for a Jobber would indeed add to the display, one to look out for…

We haven’t worn out our Ardingly purchases yet Mr Woollas but we will no doubt visit the shop for a look over the course of the weekend !!
